This game can be played in two modes:

When a player who is serving shoots and hits the kimpump that is inside the square 15 X 15 cm. inside the circumference , is another way to make out. 3. When the kimbomba is thrown and mounted on the stick used for hitting, it is considered as 2 outs. 4. The last way out is when a serving player catches the kimbomba in the first jump or bounce when the bat is hitting the kimbomba.
Second modality
As mentioned above, this traditional game can be played by multiple competitors and up to 10 elements simultaneously. This will consist of each participant going to bat and trying to move the kimbomba as far away as possible. In this mode, the player who manages to move the kimbomba the most will win. To know who will be the winner, the judge will measure the distance and mark it with a stake so as not to lose the accumulated distance of each competitor.
